There are some things that Cai Yong wants to know, but Guo Peng may not want to say.

When I was young, I was full of conspiracy and plot. I was cold enough and cruel enough. I just felt that the cheating was not enough. I could cheat more and work harder to completely squeeze out Cai Yong's useful value, so that I could be worthy of my efforts.

But time has changed, and Mr. Guo is over fifty years old, no longer as vicious as he was back then.

After retiring from the throne for several years, his heart gradually became less cold and less hard. He took many things lightly and accepted them, and he didn't want to change them.

Guo Qiong's words completely destroyed his mental defense, causing him to suffer in great pain, and he burst into tears several times.

Now his heart is no longer cold, and gradually he has some warmth, so many things that are frozen in his heart cannot be hidden.

When he dreamed at midnight, he would even wake up, his mind would be a little confused, and he would doubt what kind of cruel thinking he had used to do those tragic things.

He can no longer withstand another questioning.

Faced with Cai Yong's torture, he asked.

So Cai Yong's pupils shrank, and his face showed a shock.

"What you... are saying true?"

"real."

"You've been lying to me all the time?"

"Um."

"You lied to me for forty years?"

"So that's what it means."

Guo Peng did not deny it, and admitted it all.

Perhaps there are some differences in this, such as Guo Peng’s deep feelings for Cai Yong are not completely fake, and in addition, it is quite different.

After thinking about it carefully, Guo Peng felt that his feelings for Cai Yong were probably the kind that deceived him and deceived him into his feelings.

Therefore, it cannot escape the scope of fraud.

The so-called actor is to deceive the audience's rationality through his superb acting skills and thus achieve his own goals. He is just like that to Cai Yong.

Cai Yong was obviously shocked.

There was a difference between the two from guessing and finally being admitted. It took a while before Cai Yong realized it.

"Zifeng, you first met me. You were only twelve years old... At that time, you started lying to me?"

"To be precise, when I was eight years old, I started to lie, and it was not you who started to lie."

Guo Peng showed a self-deprecating smile, looking at the carvings on the feet of Cai Yong's bed, and his thoughts returned to the Yuedan Ping of Runan when he was eight years old.

"That year, Xu Zi will hold a Yuedan review in Runan. I went with Cao Mengde, who was only eighteen years old at that time. Xu Zicheng was unwilling to comment to Cao Mengde at the beginning. Cao Mengde used both soft and hard work and asked Yuan Shao to help. Xu Zicheng was helpless and gave the comment.

But it wasn't enough to give a comment, but I also wanted to mock the eunuchs and ancestors of Cao Mengde's family. Cao Mengde's face turned pale when he saw it. When I saw it, I thought it was a good opportunity to flatter him, so I rushed to the stage and kicked Xu Zijiang and staggered."

"You...you want to flatter Mengde when you are eight years old? Why?"

Cai Yong was stunned.

"Why, why...of course it's to make a name for itself."

Guo Peng shook his head: "Mr. Cai, at that time, I had no other thoughts. I just wanted to make a name for myself. At that time, the Cao family was in great power and had a relationship with Emperor Xiaoling... At that time, Empress Song was not dead yet, and the Cao family was really a relationship with him.

At that time, I was just a desolate family of the Guo family in Yingchuan. I had nothing except the status of the gentry. My father was just the magistrate of Qianshi County, and the Cao family was a senior official in the central government. If I don’t curry favor with them, how can I have a future? How can I change my destiny?"

Cai Yong found it incredible.

"How could this happen?"

"Mr. Cai, when I married Cao, I was fifteen years old. At that time, I was already famous in the capital. Of course, you would think that I was the initiative in my marriage with Cao, but in fact, at the earliest, I was a weaker party in my marriage with Cao.

My family is just a county magistrate of Qiao County. I have a disagreement with the Yingchuan family. If something happens, I hope the Yingchuan family will use political resources to save us. That is a delusion. All of our family is just a county magistrate. Apart from that, I am the only one myself.

I deeply know that I cannot act in a weak position. The more weak I am, the more I look down on me. I must be cruel, resolute, and strong. In this way, I will not be influenced by the Cao family and I can raise my head!

So I have not only studied hard since I was a child, but also fought bravely. This was the atmosphere at that time. So I fought for fear of life and often took the lead in fighting. I fought in Qiao County invincible. I was a complete little bully, hahahaha!"

Thinking of the past when he fought bravely and violently more than 40 years ago, he couldn't help laughing.

"At that time, I knew that as long as I could show the spirit of a scholar and the talent of a scholar, I could suppress the old Cao family from a poor family, but being able to suppress the old Cao family does not mean that I could suppress the younger generation.

The old man cares more about learning, and the younger generation cares more about whether he can recover. Therefore, I not only have to study hard, but also have to be fierce enough, fierce and strong enough to suppress the Cao family's juniors. Therefore, I am brave and cruel and fight to avoid life, so I become the leader among the Cao family's juniors.

Not only did I beat others hard, but I was also very fierce when I beat the younger generation of the Cao family. I think as long as I beat them hard enough when I was young, even if they grow up, they can actually beat me, but as long as I glared at me, they will still be afraid of me and for the rest of their lives.

I didn't expect that I could suppress the meritorious general of Cao's family by becoming the emperor. At that time, I just thought that I could not show weakness no matter what, and that I could not let Cao regard me as a stepping stone to improve my family. I was unwilling to be a subordinate, and I had to have the dominance!"

Guo Peng strengthened his tone, pinched his fists, and said with a determined look: "How could I be willing to be a subordinate? I want to make the decision by myself, I want to control my own life! No one can make the decision by me!"

Then, he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his indifference.

"I didn't expect that I would go on this path. They became my generals and made great achievements in military achievements. But no matter what, they were afraid of me. When I glared at me, their legs trembled. Cao Ren and Cao Hong were all in my control, and they did not escape from my control."

As he said this, Guo Peng laughed proudly.

“Hahahahahahaha…”

Cai Yong was so surprised that he couldn't even feel the pain on his body.

He didn't understand why the young Guo Peng was so scheming.

But when I thought of Zhao Zheng, who became the King of Qin at the age of thirteen, and Guo Peng was in the same rank, thinking about it this way, maybe people like them are born to be leaders.

"In this way, Zifeng, Cao, and Xiahou were plotted against you before you arrived in Luoyang?"

"Well, it's not just them, I also used the method of chiseling ice and fishing to gain fame. That was planned long ago... Mr. Cai shouldn't be surprised, right?"

"You planned it?"

Cai Yong was surprised, but he realized it again in a flash.

Guo Peng smiled.

"Mr. Cai, you should think that this is led by my father, not by me, I am just a participant, but in fact, it is the solution I came up with. Then I ask my father to cooperate with me and do a complete set of tricks, which is better."

Cai Yong was speechless.

However, he had gradually gained the ability to bear it, and gradually felt that the things Guo Peng did when he was a child were not surprising.

This is the ability he should have as a legendary emperor. If he doesn't have this ability, he will not be such a legendary emperor.

"So, next, it's your plan after you arrived in Luoyang? Zigan and I were plotted by you at this time, right? You first use Meng De to approach me, and then use me to approach Zigan, one by one..."

"Mr. Cai, I really can't say that this is a calculating, because at the beginning I didn't know that my brother-in-law knew you, and the relationship was pretty good. He took the initiative to mention it. And at that time, I wanted to submit an article to you and get your comments, not only me? Everyone is calculating you?"

Guo Peng smiled and turned his head to look at Cai Yong, and said, "The method of raising one's own value that everyone is using is the convention at that time. Since it is a convention, it cannot be said to be a calculation. Everyone knows it well. And how do I know that Cao Mengde's recommendation is really useful?"

“…………”

Cai Yong was silent, thought for a while, and felt that what Guo Peng said made sense.

"I just said that you were going to meet me, so I began to hide myself, my strong desire to make a name for myself, pretend to be a sincere gentleman, and try my best to cater to your expectations by your side. In a year, I gained your trust, and then you will recommend a teacher to me."

Guo Peng paused for a moment, then said, "But how did I know you would take me to see the teacher? My goal was just you at the beginning, not the teacher. This incident was an unexpected surprise for me, not a plan."

Cai Yong took a deep breath.

“What else is planned for you?”

"The time when you and your tribe Cai Zhi were framed by Yang Qiu, I colluded with Guo Hong, my elder who was the Tingwei at the time, and specially performed a scene at the gate of the Tingwei Mansion. I was whipped. Yang Qiu lost the hearts of the people because of the tyrant's tyrant. In the end, I had to let you go, and then I also gained great fame."

Cai Yong suddenly felt that his emotions were very complicated.

It was obvious that he was rescued, but he was indeed rescued, but unexpectedly, all this was a game set by Guo Peng.

Although this is a win-win situation, after Guo Peng explained it like this, the whole feeling was immediately wrong.

"I thought you came to save me out of emotion."

Cai Yong sighed slightly, "I heard that you were whipped, and my heart hurts. I cried in prison so hard that it ended up... Then later you sent me to Wuyuan and encountered thieves on the road. Could it be that you were the ones you?"

"Mr. Cai, I thought of this method to gain fame, but also to save you. Doing this is good for you and me. And don't think I'm calculating, just think I can do everything. It's indeed Yangqiu, not me."

Guo Peng shook Cai Yong's hand: "I have indeed calculated many people and many things, but I am not always calculating."

"Hahaha... Zifeng, after you said that just now, how could I believe that what you said was not a new plan?"

"I used to plot because I could get benefits from this matter, but now I plot against you, what are the benefits?"

Guo Peng shook his head helplessly.

Cai Yong thought so, that's right, Guo Peng is already the supreme person in the world, so why do you have to plot against him as a bad old man?

Thinking of this, he felt a little embarrassed.

With different statuses, I have no value for being calculated. What Guo Peng said now can only be the truth.

Seeing that Cai Yong stopped talking, Guo Peng smiled.

"Of course, what I have calculated is actually far more than what I have said. In comparison, the teacher, I really haven't calculated it. I respect him very much. He is a respectable person. He has taught me a lot of things that have benefited me to this day."

"I am not worthy of respect?"

Cai Yong was a little excited, he felt a little unbalanced.
